Description of the problem | The truck has a lack of acceleration. When you press down the throttle it takes 5 seconds or more for it to respond causing a major safety concern. So much that you cannot cross traffic and or accelerate up the hill where it declines in speed. I live in the northwest in colder climates was snow and i lose acceleration and traction when going up hills. I have been in numerous close calls. It has been to the dealership 3 * and chrysler says it operates on design because it is not throwing any codes for them to read. I want to know where a 5 second delay in acceleration is safe? I purchased the vehicle october 31st 2017 1st complaint and time to the dealership was in december and that continues to get worse the truck only has 6500 miles on it. |
